It's very exciting what realXtend (setup guide) can offer. The open source viewer (GPL license) and server (BSD license) technology of 3D net are completely free. (I wonder if they would release a Mac version any time soon especially after Intel Mac is capable of running Windows). Also interoperability is another issue to have your Second Life avatar and inventory accessible in realXtend server (not yet available). Besides IBM and Linden Lab's collaborative efforts, OpenSim is also working on how all virtual worlds may link together. Info about the current development regarding OpenSim. Article about Hypergrid by James Au and more. In pursuit of dynamic shadow effects, here are couple testing results regarding realXtend:
1. yes, realXtend viewer can render dynamic shadow but only with its own server.
2. include avatar animation tool (IK Movement Editor), animate fingers?
3. use Python scripts.
